I do seem to have a problem with mandarin. It is very prevalent in the top notes of many modern fragrances,and becomes very sour if poorly executed.
In retrospect, I shouldn't have even included calone (you are not supposed to choose it unless you just started to dislike it within the last few weeks or so). Remember that I only had 20 options maximum. If I had it to do over I guess I'd include oud and get rid of the calone option.

I voted Vanilla, but only if it's a dominant note and is cloyingly sweet. Having said this, I adore Ellena's Vanille Galante. Tonka and Benzoin are OK with me.
Dihydromyrcenol
Calone when used with a heavy hand is by far the worst offender for me. I dont mind it when it is used lightly but it seems like alot of colognes are the opposite. CAse in point Bulgari Aqua Marine. I did like the regular Bulgari Aqua at one point but then I smelled Aqua Marine and they used so much Calone in it that it gave me a headache. As a result I hardly ever wear Aqua anymore. I think thats the only fragrance that has done that to me.
Going with overly sweet vanilla or calone.
2 go-to notes for the designer scents now-days.
And how is oudh 'everywhere' nowdays? I can never find any decent ouds other than in niche frags.
Iris and jumping on the oudh bandwagon are on my list.
Interesting poll.
I voted for licorice.
Multiple selections would have been a better option for this type of poll in my opinion.
oud, oud, oud.
Dreaded aquatic note ...............( and too much oud too, is horrid )
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.

Anise/licorice. I don't mind if it's blended well and I can't tell but if it's apparent and very clear then forget it.
Aquatic is pretty much expected to be #1, I'm surprised though that animalic isn't higher up though; that's my vote. Most of the time (with the exception of some musks) fragrances that smell like body odor or feces disgust me.
1. Immortelle
2. Hazelnut

Tobacco but only because I used to be extremely hyperosmic to it. It always dominated any fragrance it was in for me.
Other than that.. nothing really although I'm not a huge fan of 'amber' (and it just absolutely GRATES MY NERVES to see that listed as a note, because, honestly, just what is "amber"? It can be so many things. I 'd much rather see, for instance "vanilla, labdanum, benzoin, patchouli" listed as notes rather than "amber." It's a meaningless term, just like "aldehydes" or "musk.")

Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
Looks like Tony wants to resurrect a bunch of old threads.
I am so tired of tonka. Been tired of it for so long now. I wish the tonka craze would end, but it never does. Seems nearly every designer fragrance has a tonka laden base.
